The Automatic Hate (2015)

 A Boston chief (Joseph Cross) learns he has family he never knew about after being contacted by his cousin (Adelaide Clemens, a tall, Australian version of Michelle Williams, a standout amongst a reasonably solid cast). The two team up, trying to solve the mystery of their fathers estrangement, while discovering an uncomfortable sexual attraction to each other. An unusual kinda film, I don't know what to compare it to. This movie is great with its employment of tension, I felt on edge and nervous throughout most of its running time, waiting for the other shoe to drop, anxious to learn the dark family secret. I thought the ending really worked. ***1/2
